Keir Gilchrist

London-born actor Keir Gilchrist began his career onscreen at the urging of his acting coach, getting his start with small roles in some minor films like Saint Ralph, before moving on to a starring role in the series The Winner in 2007. The show was canceled after only six episodes, but Gilchrist had no trouble finding new projects, eventually scoring the role of Marshall on the acclaimed Showtime series The United States of Tara.

Sometimes I wish I had an easy answer
for why Iâ??m depressed. That my father beat
me, or I was sexually abused. But, my problems are less... dramatic than that.

[During a basketball practice in the hospital] How'd you end up in here?

Bobby

Man, you don't give up, do you? I'm on vacation

Craig

Seriously.

Bobby

I am serious. Some people go to Hamptons. I come here. Get a little R&R. People feed you. I get high sometimes, man.

Craig

That's not what I've heard about you.

Bobby

[sigh] What did you hear?

Craig

Craig: [hesitating a bit] I heard you tried to rape a penguin at the zoo

Bobby

Bobby: [straightening up] Who told you that?

Craig

Okay, I know you're thinking, "What is this? Kid spends a few days in the hospital and all his problems are cured?" But I'm not. I know I'm not. I can tell this is just the beginning. I still need to face my homework, my school, my friends. My dad. But the difference between today and last Saturday is that for the first time in a while, I can look forward to the things I want to do in my life. Bike, eat, drink, talk. Ride the subway, read, read maps. Make maps, make art. Finish the Gates application. Tell my dad not to stress about it. Hug my mom. Kiss my little sister. Kiss my dad. Make out with Noelle. Make out with her more. Take her on a picnic. See a movie with her. See a movie with Aaron. Heck, see a movie with Nia. Have a party. Tell people my story. Volunteer at 3 North. Help people like Bobby. Like Muqtada. Like me. Draw more. Draw a person. Draw a naked person. Draw Noelle naked. Run, travel, swim, skip. Yeah, I know it's lame, but, whatever. Skip anyway. Breathe... Live.
